He replaced the band's original drummer, Morris Palter, in time for touring behind the Maybe It's Me album.

Treble Charger is a Canadian rock band formed in 1992 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, consisting of vocalist and guitarist Greig Nori, vocalist and guitarist Bill Priddle, bassist Rosie Martin and drummer Richard Mulligan.

Between 1996 and 2016, Treble Charger was among the Top 150 selling Canadian artists in Canada.
If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish is the second full-length album by the Canadian hardcore punk band SNFU.

Better Than a Stick in the Eye is the third album by Canadian hardcore punk band SNFU. The album was released in 1988 by Cargo Records. It marked a return to a direct and unadorned sound following its comparatively experimental predecessor, If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish. It would also be the group's last studio album for five years, as they disbanded months after the record's release before again reforming in 1991.
